Explain why and how the polar covalent bonds found in water molecules are responsible for water's ability to dissolve many subst
ances, particularly
ionic compounds such as salt.
1 answer:
Explanation:
Water is generally regarded as universal solvent due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds.
A water molecule has partial positive and negative charges on it thus, it is a polar compound.
- The binding rule for substances to dissolve one another is that they must be like one another.
- Polar solutes or substance only dissolves in polar solvents. Non-polar substances will dissolve in non-polar solvents.
- Water is polar and ionic substances are polar too.
- In water, the positive end of a salt is completely surrounded by water molecules and they hydrate it. The same analogy goes for the negative end.
- This is called hydration.
- The hydration complex keeps the salt dispersed in the water.
- This why water is able to dissolve a broad range of substances.
